Free as in market
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source is all about free markets. Yes, we have a free market
| in the software world, but I'd argue that opening up the code gives
| customers greater degrees of freedom in two ways: lower costs (so
| that they can spend their IT dollars more broadly) and no (or lower)
| lock-in (so that they can spend their IT dollars more discriminately).
| All of this makes for a true free market in software. "Free as in
| free market," as I heard r0ml present back in his 2003 eGovOS
| presentation.
